Abstract

The rate of photoinduced charge separation is measured as a function of solvent for four donor (D)-bridge-acceptor (A) systems: DMN [10] DCV, DMN [10nb] DCV, DMN [10cy] DCV, and DMAN [10cy] DCV. In the first three members of this series, the D/A pair is kept constant and contains the strong dimethoxynaphthalene (DMN) donor which enables detection of electron transfer over a wide range of solvent polarity. In the fourth member, DMN is ...
